Hello from Kansas

[pauld3]

Hello, my name is Paul and ive been visiting this post for a little while, and decided to take the leap and introduce myself.
The wife and I like to camp and saw a show the had some teardrops on it and both fell in love with them, so we decided to see what we could come up with. we have downloaded the kuffel creek plans and have visited camping classics site.
I like the aluminum covered tears and she likes the woodys. So I guess where building a woody.

Well anyway hello and thanks in advance for any advice

HAH!!!

Welcome, Paul!!!

Why don't you guys compromise and do wood sides and aluminum roof and hatch? That's a gorgeous combination, especially with the colored aluminum available.

There are a whole bunch of builds done here like that.

Welcome Paul,
There is a lot of good info on this site from a lot of great people. If it is any help to you on your build check out my page @ www.tearsojoy.com/cafe.html. This is the last Woodie that I built and I am starting another here in about 2 weeks. If I can be of any help just email me.

Welcome Paul,
What part of Kansas are you from? If you want to see a lot of different trailers all at once you should plan a trip to Minden NE this summer. There will be a bunch up there in June.

Paul,
Welcome to the playground. I agree with Ira, wood sides and aluminum roof. Or just build two. His and hers.

Have lots of fun, take lots of and post post post.

Welcome Paul and your family .... and a big Hey Y'all from the South Central group ! We had some fun campouts last year that would've been driveable for ya -- we were in central Missouri and then near Tulsa Ok

Hope you will join us soon, even if you don't have your teardrop ready !

This forum is the BEST for planning, encouragement , and FRIENDS!!

Julie

Thanks for the encouragement, and we do like the idea of wood sides with aluminum top.
We are wanting to go to gathering in Nebraska, but problably will not have the trailer done by then, but we will try. I think we'll go ahead and register and if nothing else take a tent. What do you all think, would that be acceptable?

Thanks Paul and Lynn

[Miriam C.]

Course you can bring a tent. That will put you out in the primative area with us. Ya know why they call it primative right? Bring your pop up and grill too. Lots of fun and I think Julie is bringing her outside fireplace.

[pauld3]

well we downloaded the registration form and sent it off so i guess we will be seeing you in minden either with or without the td.

Paul and Lynn,
Not sure how close to Kansas City metro area you are....if you are interested in seeing a Cubby up close, drop me a message and stop on by.

[WarPony]

Paul and Lynn, I'm in Topeka and I'm going to Minden, too. Hey, I started my TTT 6 weeks before the first ITG and had it campable (barely), for the event.

PM me if your want to see my rig up close.

Jeff

[RAYVILLIAN]

That goes for us too, PM us and depending on weather we'll be glad to make a run over the border to show off the trailer. It's not a tear. but looks alot like one.

Hey guys this sounds like the start of a mini gathering.
